“I’ve seen a lot of keynote speakers. And while most are good, very few are remembered well after the event. Our attendees still talk about Jon’s incredible performance at our corporate event as one of the best they’ve experienced. His magic was fantastic, and his time on stage had the audience laughing, tearing up, and inspired. Jon’s story goes straight to the heart, and the way he tells it is the real magic. He is genuine and engaging. Jon and his team were a pleasure to work with. Jon is a true class act!”

– Patrick Maley CMO, BluJay Solutions

“People gravitate towards Jon, it starts with 2 or 3 people, then 10, then 20. Next thing you know, nobody is listening to the band and everyone is surrounding Jon. His life experiences and determination separate him from the rest, and he is able to share that with everyone on stage.”

– Jim Kelly, NFL Hall of Fame
